How to Partially Disable Vehicles

Open objects.rfa and find the physics.con file for the vehicle. Note the names of all engines, including dummy engines.

In the map's objectspawnertemplates.con, add an entry like the following for each engine:

ObjectTemplate.Active MH53HoverEngine1
ObjectTemplate.SetAcceleration 0/0/0

For land and sea vehicles this will be all you need. For vehicles that are floating in the air, you will need to change the spawner and add this line

ObjectTemplate.HoldObject 1

You can also make the engine sound like it's running without anyone in the driver position. It will stop if someone enters and exits the driver's position, but it's better than nothing.

To do this, for each engine entry, also add this line:

ObjectTemplate.SetEngineType c_ETRocket
